Chapter 905 – Ji Ji… Ji Ji

Another benefit of the collectivization strategy would be a great increase in the dynasty’s financial income. Based on estimations from the Financial Court, when the strategy officially succeeded, the Imperial Court’s income would have a chance of doubling.

With enough financial income, the Imperial Court would be able to raise the welfare of the people, perfect basic facilities construction, improve education and medical domains, increase the speed of industrialization, pay for the army, and more.

Only by doing that could they increase the foundation and ability of the dynasty.

Similarly, collectivization would mean a huge need of talents. One China Shipping Group would need to recruit thousands of elites and the entire collectivization strategy would need hundreds of thousands.

Even if they used a certain number of NPCs, they would still need a huge amount of talents.

This would be a long term battle that involved the entire China region. Ouyang Shuo was patient, and he did not even mind recruiting people from other nations.

It was already the time of the federation, so one needed some international ambition.

************

Just as Ouyang Shuo was planning for the collectivization plan, Shanhai City welcomed three special guests.

The three of them came from the Wei Jin northern and southern dynasties and joined the Great Xia Dynasty for their own reasons. The first one to arrive was a heroine, Hua Mulan, who enlisted for her father.

Mulan weaving with a loom; the loom kept working and making noises.

However, I did not hear the loom’s noises; I just heard Mulan’s sigh.

Past through tens of thousands of miles to battle and crossed passes like flying.

The wind passed through her army, the cold light shining on her iron shirt.

When rabbits are chasing one another, how can one distinguish if I am the buck or the doe?

One Mulan poem had described Hua Mulan’s legendary life and made it a story known by all families.

Hua Mulan arrived at the Great Xia Dynasty because both Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying were here. Out of the four heroines of China, three were in the Great Xia Dynasty now, and the remaining one was Liang Hongyu from South Song.

Out of the four of them, only Hua Mulan came from a normal family. Before joining the battle, she was just a seamstress and did not learn any martial arts. However, she was able to survive for 10 years on the battlefield, a legendary feat.

Her basic upbringing made her story even more amazing.

Hua Mulan returned from the battle, but she rejected the title and rank from the Imperial Court to go home to her family; it was an ultimate show of filial piety.

Hence, she was the simplest one out of the four but also the most legendary and famous one.

Name: Hua Mulan (King Rank)

Title: One of the Four Heroines of China

Dynasty: Northern and Southern dynasty

Identity: Great Xia Dynasty General

Occupation: Special General

Loyalty: 70

Command: 70

Force: 70

Intelligence: 75

Politics: 45

Specialty: Filial (raises troops morale by 30%, raises combat strength of troops by 20%)

Cultivation Method: nil

Equipment: Mulan Bow

Evaluation: China ancient heroine, really filial. She helped her father enlist to join the war, and her story was one of legends, and the Tang Dynasty emperor gave her the title of Xiaolie General.

The game had strengthened her so that she could match up to her identity as a King Rank general.

When she reached Shanhai City, she rode on a black horse. With a bow in her hand, she formed a really handsome sight. Along with her were also her parents, sister, and little brother.

When Ouyang Shuo got the report, he personally met her.

“Civilian greets my king!”

In the Imperial Reading Room, Hua Mulan had changed, and she greeted with the civilian greeting and not the general greeting.

Ouyang Shuo focused. Hua Mulan was able to hide her identity as a female for 10 years, so she was definitely a thoughtful girl. It looked like a small greeting, but it had big meaning.

It seemed like even after coming over, she did not have any intentions of becoming a general.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, “I’m happy that general came over. I have ordered someone to give you a house in the city, and you can settle your family there.”

When Hua Mulan heard that, her expression got serious, and she wavered.

As they say, ‘One won’t accept something unless they worked for it.’

If Hua Mulan accepted the residence, she would not be able to reject his request for her to be a general.

If she did not, considering the prosperity of Shanhai City, it would be really difficult for them to settle down in the city, as the house prices were high, and the goods were expensive.

Shanhai City was not how it was before, and one could not just rely on the welfare package given out by the Yamen.

Hua Mulan and her family survived by sewing. In Shanhai City, where the sewing machine was pushed out, they did not have any advantage, and even basic living conditions could not be achieved.

‘It’s so hard to live in a big city.’ she exclaimed to herself.

After the system update, the historical peoples’ lives became more interesting. Each one of them brought their families along as they entered the wilderness.

That also forced them to come out to feed their families.

Gaia used up many resources to design numerous advanced intelligence historical people, and it was not for them to do nothing in the wilderness.

The historical people who chose to seclude themselves would not be trained in the territories and would not gain modern day knowledge, so they would definitely be eliminated.

When they reach Planet Hope, no Lord would waste resources on them to make them real.

Seeing Hua Mulan hesitate, Ouyang Shuo continued, “I know that General has some worries, so why not listen to my plan before making a decision? How about that?”

Since he said that, Hua Mulan had no reason to speak otherwise, “King, please speak!”

Ouyang Shuo said, “The Xia palace is guarded by the Guards Legion Corps. However, most of them are male, so it is not convenient for them to go into the back palace. I hope for you to train a group of Imperial Palace female guards to guard the back palace. With that, you will not need to leave the barracks and can also be near your family. What do you think?”

Hua Mulan had joined the army for 10 years, so she had a relationship with the army and would not be able to leave just like that. Even when she went home, she still kept in contact with her military subordinates and friends.

However, as one’s military career and family could not be mixed, Hua Mulan had no choice.

Ouyang Shuo’s arrangement helped fulfill both, touching Hua Mulan. She cupped her fists and said, “Thank you my king for your good grace.” Her tone was confident and clear.

“I’m looking forward to General training the special female guards. As for the specific arrangements, you can discuss with the queen and the Privy Court.”

Song Jia was the master of the back palace and had power over the guards.

“Yes my king!”

Hua Mulan bowed once more and took her leave.

Ouyang Shuo looked indifferent. However, many thoughts had run through his heart. Ouyang Shuo thought of the female guards because he loved Hua Mulan’s talents and was not willing to see her waste her good years in front of a sewing machine. Moreover, he was considering the safety of Bing’er.

Song Jia was highly skilled, so she was definitely safe. However, Bing’er was different. Although she trained in the Wugou heart sutra, that was an internal technique and not a fighting one.

Ouyang Shuo was worried that someone would kidnap her.

Especially as sects and factions like Shaolin and Wudang came out. With more and more martial artists appearing, people might try something funny to threaten Ouyang Shuo.

Although there was no real death in the game, Ouyang Shuo was not willing to let Bing’er make a trip to the reincarnation hall.

The second to arrive in Shanhai City was an old man; he was the ancestor of mathematics, Zu Chongzhi.

Zu Chongzhi spent his life studying natural sciences; he focused on mainly mathematics, astronomy, and mecha-making. His best mathematical achievement was calculating Pi.

Pi concerned many different parts of life like the calendar, astronomy, and more. How to guess the exact value of Pi was an important question in the mathematical world.

Zu Chongzhi used the foundations of Liu Hui’s Pi finding method to calculate Pi to the seveth digit, which was between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927.

Only during the 16th century did Al Kashi break this record.

Xu Chongzhi’s accurate Pi value was a huge contribution to China and even to the world.

Apart from the Pi value, Zu Chongzhi’s Methods for Interpolation was listed into the famous 10 books of Suanjing.

The methods of interpolation were really deep, and the calculations were really precise. Many smart people could not understand its contents, and it was one of the hardest mathematical books.

Zu Chongzhi also had some work on astronomy. The Daming calendar written by him was the most advanced calendar at that time and provided the correct method for the future astronomy research.

The key to the calendar was the calculation of leap weeks.

His calculation was really precise. Based on it, a year was 365.2428141 days, which was only 46 seconds away from the amount today.

He also calculated the number of overlaps between sun and moon as 27.21223, which was very close to the 27.21222 as we know today. Using this number, he successfully predicted an eclipse four times during 23 years.

Apart from natural sciences, Zu Chongzhi was also good at music and researched melodies; he was a truly all rounded individual.

Zu Chongzhi came over because he was attracted by the famous Xinan University; it was a great learning environment.

Ouyang Shuo naturally would not force him to come out and take up an appointment. Instead, he personally sent him to the university.
